I tidied it up a bit with what I had in my bag, but need to return to gland the top left cable which is the incoming supply. Actually, it needs to be replaced as the current cable is black rubber sheath with rubber insulation on the cores, and the wires are fine stranded silver coloured which when scraped, do not reveal copper underneath, so I guess a new length of cable is the way forward.

and before anyone shouts at me, I know the blues in the bottom Wago should have been trimmed further...
 
That's a lot better than how it was!

The only thing I was thinking is that the nut on the earth stud is tightened on to plastic.
 
DPG, I can see what you mean, however the earth stud protrudes into the box through a hole drilled in the back. The stud is bolted to the metal casing, then there is a second nut on top, which protrudes even further into the box.

Ah I've just looked closer. I didn't realise you made a clearance hole in the enclosure. I thought the nut was clamping down on it.

Joking aside that flex would probably pull 26a without too much trouble

I have seen an old JW video showing 1mm/1.5mm solid taking about 50a before it started to bubble and smoke

A pointless label, and it's wonky
